Didn’t know working with a lawyer could be this refreshing. I can’t say enough great things about Berry Law in Lincoln, NE. Our experience was so different than what we had expected in working with a lawyer. Carey took the necessary time to affirm and explain how we were justified in our situation. He defended us and encouraged us every step of the way. He was an excellent communicator and very easy to work with. We would give more than five stars if possible.

It wasn’t just about legal expertise—though that was top-notch—it was the genuine compassion they showed. Whenever I felt overwhelmed or anxious, they were always there to calm my nerves and reassure me.

I had a wonderful experience working with Carey Collingham at Berry Law for 2 personal injury claims! He made me feel supported and heard. Carey listened to my experiences, thoroughly guided me through my options, and always had a clear plan of action. Carey is very personable and professional. I felt that he truly cared about my claims and my well-being. Having a personal injury can make you feel out of control, but Carey made me confident that he would take care of the claims which made me feel less overwhelmed. I could not recommend Carey enough! He fought hard to ensure that I received the compensation I deserved, and I could not be happier about the outcomes of my claims!

When Should You File a Truck Accident Claim?
The timeframe for filing a truck accident lawsuit varies by state.
Failing to file within the statute of limitations could result in losing your right to compensation. Since special circumstances can shorten or extend these deadlines, it’s critical to speak with a truck accident attorney as soon as possible to protect your rights.
What Information Do You Need to File a Truck Accident Claim?
To file a successful truck accident claim, your case must answer several key questions:
- Who is legally responsible for your accident?
- What evidence do you have proving negligence?
- What injuries or financial losses did you suffer?
- Can you provide documentation that ties those losses to the accident?
Our team helps you gather and organize the necessary evidence so you can file a strong, fact-based claim.
Who Can Be Held Liable for a Truck Accident?
Determining liability in a truck accident can be complex. If the truck driver is employed by a company, the employer may be responsible. In cases involving independent contractors, the driver may be personally liable. Other potentially responsible parties may include maintenance providers, cargo loaders, or even government agencies.
Our attorneys carefully examine the details of your accident and the relationships between all parties involved. We use evidence from the scene, driver logs, contracts, and more to determine who should be held accountable for your injuries.
How Can You Request Damages After a Truck Accident?
You request compensation by filing a personal injury claim that includes both economic and non-economic damages. Economic damages are easier to calculate and may include:
- Medical bills
- Property damage
- Lost wages
- Loss of future earning capacity
- At-home care or assistance
- Funeral expenses (in fatal cases)
Non-economic damages, such as pain and suffering, emotional distress, or loss of companionship, don’t have direct costs attached but are just as important. Our attorneys work with you to calculate the full scope of your losses and advocate for maximum compensation.
